What key experiences or clinical gaps motivated your focus on advancing prostate cancer diagnostics, particularly MRI-led ...
Millions of men could benefit from a new, faster prostate cancer scan. The quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer in clinical trials as the current 30- to ...
One radiation oncologist describes the advantages of MRI-guided SBRT when treating patients with prostate cancer. “Prostate cancer is very curable with radiation,” radiation oncologist Dr. Matthew ...
There are several strategies for the early detection of prostate cancer. The first step is often a blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA). If PSA levels exceed a certain threshold, the next ...
A quicker, cheaper MRI scan was just as accurate at diagnosing prostate cancer as the current 30-40 minute scan and should be rolled out to make MRI scans more accessible to men who need one, ...
A large screening trial showed that using prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) before MRI prevented overdiagnosis and lowered resource use while preserving the detection of clinically significant ...
Fluorine-18 prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-1007 PET/CT was superior to multiparametric MRI for primary locoregional staging of prostate cancer, according to results from a phase II ...
Prostate MRI currently lacks the accuracy to replace biopsies in active surveillance for prostate cancer. The negative predictive value of MRI remains below 90%, the general goal for safely avoiding ...
Biparametric MRI, which omits the dynamic contrast enhancement sequence, can detect clinically significant prostate cancer as well as multiparametric MRI. Biparametric MRI performs as well as ...
As part of the “Speaking Out” series, a radiation oncologist discusses the benefits of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy. Dr. Matthew Solhjem, a radiation oncologist with Providence ...
It saved one man’s life. Yet doctors warn that scanning healthy people may uncover more problems than it solves ...
